Who it’s for:
Teeth whitening is suitable for adults with healthy teeth and gums, particularly those looking to remove yellow-toned surface stains caused by coffee, tea, smoking, or aging. Ideal candidates have natural teeth without extensive restorations like crowns or veneers, which do not whiten. It is not recommended for children, pregnant/breastfeeding women, or those with decay.
How the procedure works:
Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that uses peroxide-based agents—specifically hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide—to oxidize and break down stain molecules in the tooth enamel. These agents penetrate the teeth to remove both surface stains and deeper discoloration
Comfort and safety
Safe and comfortable teeth whitening involves using products with lower peroxide concentrations, avoiding daily application to prevent sensitivity, and protecting gums from irritation. For maximum comfort, use desensitizing toothpaste for 1-2 weeks prior, opt for custom-fitted trays from a dentist, and avoid hot/cold foods for 24-48 hours post-treatment.
